"It does magic. It performs magic every day," said Denver Botanic Gardens horticulturist Laura Swain.
"It takes the energy of the sun and turns it into shade for us, stormwater mitigation. If it weren't for trees, there would be runoff everywhere. Leaves slow down the water and filter it into the soil. They provide food for us. They provide building materials. They reduce pollution," said Swain. "Trees heal. There's research they've done in hospitals that proves just being able to see a tree out the window allows you to heal faster. If that's not miraculous, I don't know what is," said Swain.Swain said they need to be a hearty species with low water requirements that can thrive in cold winters, hot summers, heavy snows and hail. She highly recommends trees in the walnut family. But she also suggests taking a more practical approach to planting trees.
